About Us

MISSIONTo educate and empower all students and recent graduates to prepare for and pursue success.

VISIONTo inspire students to explore and gain knowledge of their occupational goals, to attain competencies and relevant experiences, to develop professional relationships, and to apply their education and unique attributes to address the needs and challenges of the world through their work.

OUR VALUESBalance- Research provides evidence that there is value in work-life balance: that work, family, and community are equal and critical components to a healthy and rewarding life. Therefore, we endeavor to model this value by providing quality service to students while maintaining energy and commitment to other areas of our lives. Doing so brings a sense of light-heartedness to our work.

Growth- We value the professional and personal development of each team member. By leveraging the vast resources of a research university, we continually strive to learn about new approaches and ideas in order to improve services and opportunities for students.

Service- We strive to understand the needs of our constituents while providing customized and thoughtful service. We approach each meaningful interaction with kindness and professionalism to find effective solutions.

Creativity- We believe that stoking curiosity and encouraging individuality stimulates creativity and innovation. Through capitalizing on our professional and personal development, we adapt and refine new approaches for our students, thereby creating an environment that promotes and supports originality and imagination in our work.

Achievement- We are committed and passionate in our pursuit of excellence and strongly believe that each staff member’s accomplishments contribute directly to the overall success of the team. By empowering individuals to take ownership of their roles, each one is encouraged to be ambitious and proactive, to take initiative, and to continually contribute to our services, communications, and team dynamics.
